The 1930 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the least active hurricane seasons on record, with only three documented tropical cyclones. In the North Atlantic Ocean, hurricanes generally form between the months of June and November, with most occurring in August and September. The first system of the year formed on June 14 and the last dissipated on October 21. Two of the three storms developed into major hurricanes and the latter of these was one of the deadliest tropical cyclones on record, killing between 2,000 to 8,000 people in the Dominican Republic.

“We recognize caste in dogs because we rank ourselves by the familiar dog system, a ladderlike social arrangement wherein one individual outranks all others, the next outranks all but the first, and so on down the hierarchy. But the cat system is more like a wheel, with a high-ranking cat at the hub and the others arranged around the rim, all reluctantly acknowledging the superiority of the despot but not necessarily measuring themselves against one another.”
—Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. “Strong and Sensitive Cats,” Atlantic Monthly (July 1994)
“Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
